A lot can happen in ten years. And twice-and-a-half as much in twenty-five. Even bearing that in mind, it's still fairly hard to believe, this year marks two landmark anniversaries. The 25th for Ghostwatch, and the 10th for Behind the Curtains.

To celebrate this pair of legendary milestones, and all that the project has achieved so far, it is with great pleasure to announce the arrival of a brand-new publication released in honour of the occasion, the Ghostwatch: Behind the Curtains - 10th Anniversary Special.

As we all well know, a Twenty-fifth Anniversary only comes around four times
in a century. It can be truly remarkable to consider just how much has
transpired in what simultaneously feels like both an incomparably short and
lengthy period of time.

And boy, did this year's annual celebration of Ghostwatch take some unexpected twists and turns.

And just like that, the seventh National Séance is already almost upon us, and somewhat ironically, this year, for the very first time, our special annual event shall be taking place in a special venue amongst a specially-gathered live audience!

Hallowe'en Night, October 31st 2017 falls on a Tuesday, which is also being marked by the Genesis Cinema screening organised by Pilot Light Festival. That screening is expected to begin at exactly 21:25, so all things being equal, including a strong, stable, non-possessed wi-fi signal, @Ghostwatch shall be present to take part in the otherwise virtual proceedings.

It's that time of year, again. No, not just my annual trip up to Scotland, but also me talking about Red Dwarf on this dedicated Ghostwatch site, again.

You might recall, around this time last year, we reported on a special preview screening of the oft-inaccurately described, cult sci-fi spoof's eleventh series. This time, it was for XII. The fine venue, as before, was Edinburgh Filmhouse, situated amidst the perpetually-hectic, occasionally career making/breaking, Fringe Festival.
